Growing up in a large multi-generational physician family, Dr. Malepati was raised in an environment that had a strong emphasis on humanitarian pursuits. He went on to study, perform research, and teach at over 15 universities nationally and internationally. At the age of 25, Dr. Malepati was the youngest faculty member at Georgetown University School of Medicine. He is a former fellow of the National Institute for Health Care Management and has worked under grants from the National Institutes of Health and the National Science Foundation.
Dr. Malepati initially became exposed to the problem of drug-resistant pathogens within the nation’s hospitals in his management of complex infections requiring surgical intervention. This problem, which has become increasingly lethal, is directly related to inappropriate antibiotic prescribing patterns among clinicians. Dr. Malepati’s concern about this issue, and his desire to give medical providers a tangible solution when patients demand antibiotics led to the development of the EZC Pak, a 5-day tapered immune support pack launched in the Fall of 2016.
